Scotland and the Music Hall, 1850–1914 - Paul Maloney - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Scotland and the Music Hall, 1850–1914 - Paul Maloney - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Music hall reflected the lifestyles and preoccupations of working people in a way that only television in the modern era has done since. While London dominated the wider British music hall, Glasgow was the centre of a vigorous Scottish performing culture developed in a Presbyterian society with a very different experience of industrial urbanisation. This book explores all aspects of the Scottish music hall industry, from the lives and professional culture of performers and impresarios to the place of music hall in Scottish life. It explores issues of national identity in terms of Scottish audiences'' responses to the promotion of imperial themes in songs and performing material, and in the version of Scottish identity projected by Lauder and other kilted acts at home and abroad.

Music and the Sociological Gaze - Peter J. Martin - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Music and the Sociological Gaze - Peter J. Martin - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this important new book, Peter J. Martin explores the interface between musicological and sociological approaches to the analysis of music, and in doing so reveals the differing foundations of cultural studies and sociological perspectives more generally. Building on the arguments of his earlier book Sounds and society, Dr Martin initially contrasts text-based attempts to develop a ''social'' analysis of music with sociological studies of musical activities in real cultural and institutional contexts. It is argued that the difficulties encountered by some of the ''new'' musicologists in their efforts to introduce a social dimension to their work are often a result of their unfamiliarity with contemporary sociological discourse. Just as linguistic studies have moved from a concern with the meaning of words to a focus on how they are used, a sociological perspective directs our attention towards the ways in which the production and reception of music inevitably involve the collaborative activities of real people in particular times and places.

Sounds and Society - Peter J. Martin - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sounds and Society - Peter J. Martin - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this introduction to the social analysis of music, the author argues that musical meaning must be understood as socially constructed, rather than inherent, and that the notion of a correspondance between social and musical structures is highly problematic. An alternative approach, based on the "social action" perspective is outlined, and the book concludes with a discussion of the social situation of music in advanced capitalist society. The text draws on studies spanning the whole spectrum of Western music - rock bands to symphony orchestras, medieval plainchant to avant-garde jazz.

A Clockwork Counterpoint - Paul Phillips - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Clockwork Counterpoint - Paul Phillips - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Clockwork Counterpoint is the first book to examine the musical side of Anthony Burgess, an astonishingly prolific, underrated and talented composer, revealing how his lifelong involvement in music is an essential key toward understanding his life and work. Whether explaining the sonata form structure of A Clockwork Orange and the musical underpinnings of dozens of his other novels, his distinctive views on the interrelationship between music and literature, music''s role in his ties to his father and wives, or what his compositions tell us about his troubled relationship with his son, A Clockwork Counterpoint illuminates Burgess''s dual creative life, providing the first complete portrait of a prodigious artist whose musical accomplishments have remained largely unknown until now.
